Really, no pitcher should be judged by his major-league debut. The culmination of a lifelong dream is such an emotional experience that you can't expect anyone to have his usual composure on the mound. Gausman even talked about how he wasn't able to sleep leading up to it. Plus, thinking more practically, he's facing the best hitters he's ever faced, one right after the other, so he's allowed an adjustment period as far as that goes.

He still has a killer arsenal and an ace pedigree, getting selected first among all pitchers in last year's draft. If you don't mind settling for middle-of-the-road, feel free to drop him for Jose Quintana or whomever else. But if you want a shot a real difference-maker, stick with Gausman.

The move opens up a 40-man roster spot for catcher and Jesus Montero's replacement Jesus Sucre. Andino hit a brutal .184/.253/.237 in 76 at-bats with Seattle.

Triunfel had been playing for Triple-A Tacoma, hitting .300/.351/.476 with four home runs and four stolen bases in 170 at-bats. He made his major-league debut last season, going 5 for 22 with two doubles, two runs and three RBI while with the Mariners.

Maxwell suffered a broken hand April 23. He took 20 batting practice swings Friday and says he feels good. He's looking at an early June return.

Earlier this week, White Sox manager Robin Ventura said Beckham could return this weekend, but that's a long shot with the second baseman experiencing soreness. Provided the soreness isn't a major setback, Beckham could return next week.

So ... is that the end of the regression?

Hitting .260 wouldn't be entirely unprecedented for him. He did it in 2009, which was by far the best season of his career. He's a bit healthier now than he was for much of his Orioles career, making that mark a bit more feasible, but I think it's the absolute high point for a player who strikes out as often as he does.

Any way you look at it, the 2013 season will be a roller-coaster ride for Reynolds, but at least you can trust him to be an elite source of power again after nearly slumping his way out of a job last year. That alone makes him a top-15 third baseman in Fantasy. Keep that in mind when you're tempted to sell him short during the down times.
